Pi Kappa Delta Presents Up to Freddie Pi Kappa Delta gave a very informal leap year greeting in its play "Up to Freddie" which was presented in the auditorium last Saturday.

January 9, at 8:00. It was quite a greeting, quite a leap year stunt, and should prove of great assistance to the feminine corps of S. T. C. The plot of the play was rather clever, the acting was very good, the groups of characters quite interesting.

The character, Freddie, was played

by Mr. S. M. Holton, who proved an interesting as well as an entertaining actor. It was "Up to Freddie" to become engaged to four girls at same time and then have to leave his native land for fear of entangling alliances with all four maidens. This scene in which he became engaged to the four girls in about twenty minutes was the most enjoyable of the entire program and the most comical, also.

"Fweddie", as he called himself, was a difficult roll but it was carried out well. Being an ardent lover of womankind and a man of great conceit, Freddie was the central figure of the play. His every action was watched. Due recognition should also go to the acting of Mr. Coyner, as Stanhope, a college laddie, and Dr. Walmsley, as Lodge, a prominent playwright of the twentieth century.

The other characters consisted of Maria Warren, who was the heroine and who showed great wit and presence of mind in her love tangle with Dr. Walmsley; Winston Cobb, who played the part of an old maid aunt, boring, yet with too intelligent an Continued on page four

The iffair. attended by practically all the 'raternity men and pledges on the rlill, was acclaimed by many as the pest of its kind for many years.

The hall was decorated with the >anners of the eight orders, members )f the Council, and the softened ights added much to the attractiveless of the floor. A novel feature, lew to this dance, was presented by he management. Each frat was giv*i a no-break at which time though he floor was not cleared the mem>ers of that club were not broken on. rhis arrangement was well received ind many expressed hopes that it vould be continued in the future.

The Tar Heels, a familiar orchesra at Hampden-Sydney dances, was it its best. This band which hails rom the University of North CaroIna is very popular and the Panlellenic was very fortunate in se•.uring their services.

Besides the stags, those attending vere: Bryant R. Harper with Margaret iix.

Goods manufactured by forced labor, under conditions resembling slavery, are prohibited from importation into the U. S. by a recent meeting of the Treasury Department. Convict .labor gods had already been barred. The ruling will affect chiefly Russia and certain southern countries where the state department has reason to believe that convict laborers or indentured workmen are being employed.

Governor Theodore Roosevelt of Porto Rico has been promoted by President Hoover to America's highest colonial office upon the resignation of Dwight F. Dawes as governor of the Philippine Islands.

It Won't Be Long Now According to the meeting of the Freshman class last night, there seems to be monkey business ahead!

Then it leaked out that the laugh was to be on the faculty. That sounds bad—but really it's going to be great!

Watch for the "Big Date-'—the extraordinary basketball game—"Faculty versus Freshmen." Youcan't afford to miss it. It'll be the biggest event Of the year. Here's hoping the best team wins—what yuh say?

Presentation On Saturday morning the Sophomores will present Miss Potts, their class man to the faculty and student body. Sophs are looking forward to this being a very memorable event, because they are so proud of her, and as a class man she has proven so efficient. Miss Potts started her guidance in the fall of 1931 and since that time has endeared herself in the hearts of every sophomore by her conscientious and understanding pilotship.

So, it is with love and pride that the Sophomores look forward to Saturday that time of opportunity when they will present—Miss Potts!

Musical Comedy On February 5 the Sophomores are presenting one of the biggest hits of the season. Betty Low! A musocal comedy. Margaret Banks is lead director and is a very efficient one.

What it takes to make a hit, Margaret Banks has it. The characters are being selected and with this much done, student body and faculty— look out. This comedy is full of love, wit, romance and song, just the thing the college girls and boys will enjoy. So, don't miss it! The hit of the season, Betty Lay! The Sophomore Class is making their annual drive this week for dues.

Many have responded already and many more have promised. But due to the depression the girls just don't have the money. Sophomores, you have mad a good beginning in swelling the budget of the class so keep it up.

The Junior Class has been divided into teams with a leader at the head of each team. The object is to see which team can raise the most money before next Tuesday night when the contest closes. The group raising the most money (including dues) wins a prize. Which will be the lucky group?

The Junior Class is preparing for its big feature to be presented in February. This feature is two oneact plays which Jenilee Knight and Frances Potts will coach and direct.

The advertising manager is Mae Downes and Mayr Gregory the business manager. Juniors, if you want to be supported by other classes, remember to support them first. We are expecting every Junior to wend her way to the auditorium Friday night at 8 o'clock.

FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS On Friday evening, January 8. Mr. PHONES 181-27S Jeffers of the Biology Department, talked of Newfoundland, his native home.

In the next few weeks several prominent and interesting speakers are expected on our college campus under the direction of the Y. W. C. A. Problems will be discussed, and by so doing, it is hoped that our college will gain much helpful knowledge. These speakers have visited other college campuses, and bring with them much that is interesting and which will serve to help any Y. W. C. A. to render more constructive service.
